Before I knew it, I was at the top skiing alone in the sun.
It didn’t start out that way (entrepreneur’s life)
It’s been a weird year for skiing in the US Northeast.
But we were determined
↳ To have a family vacation while
↳ My daughter was home
↳ For spring break.
My wife came up but had to work that day.
→ So my daughter,
→ Her girlfriend and
→ I headed to the mountain.
We skied the lower half all morning. Easier terrain, nice conditions.
→ Then the girls swapped gear.
→ Skis to snowboarder and vice versa.
→ Back to the bunny hill for them, So I went up.
The terrain was steep and fast. My edges were sharp. And I flowed.
→ The clouds parted and I
→ Was alone at the top
→ In the sun. Sigh.
As I took the photo:
↳ I thought about how many times
↳ I’ve gone my own way, alone,
↳ And the clouds parted.
Founding the business. New product. Going Remote-first.
→ Satisfaction comes in the little
→ Moments after we commit
→ To our own path.
Each time the clouds parted and the sun shined.
→ The next day we all
→ Skied together.
→ It was a joy.
But the feeling of that moment alone lingered.
What paths have you taken alone that left you happy and grateful?
